You *will* copy 16 words per minute before you graduate. You *will* graduate in (was it 8 weeks? I forget). Or else. Vietnam was hot. No one wanted the "fail and sail" option. People *did* learn Morse code in record time :)) BTW, they had recently reduced the code speed when I was in RMA school in 1967. I believe it had been 18 words per minute and they had reduced it to 16. Oh yes, you had to memorize the BAUDOT code also. After leaving the service, I was working at Kodak and took a part time job at WADD in Brockport, NY, a small am radio station. I was in a rush and ripped copy from the teletype. The guy breaking me in was watching over my shoulder as I started the news. LOL ... right in the middle of one article the teletype took a hit and shifted out of letters and into gibberish. I read right through it. After we went back to the records he asked "how in hell did you do that?". I told him 4 years in the Navy running teletypes tend to do that to you. I was used to it. ;) Best regards from Rochester, NY Jim AA2QA |

Reported aboard my first tin-can as an RDSN on a Saturday. On Monday AM the PN's checked me in and introducted me to the Ops Boss who saw I was a ham. Turned out they had a surplus of scope dopes, but needed some RM's in the worst way, so he "temporarily" assigned me to OC instead of OI division. Thus ended my short career as an RD and started my career as an RM. Years later BuPers still had canniptions about my gundecked rate change.

The first set, almost all from anonymous posters, decry any and all nostalgia largely because they had NO such experience in their life...but, they want to hurt those who HAVE had such experiences in some way. :-) The next set comes from the PCTA extras who also NEVER served in any military who are bitching about the nostalgia in regards to military experience. They "Must" make their feelings known although they don't realize that others will read a much different take on their postings. :-) One of the more convoluted postings comes from another PCTA extra who NEVER served (he says "he serves in 'other' ways but never explains those 'other' ways). He glories in the past and the emotion of symbolism...PROVIDED such symbolism features morsemanship and plays up the morse myths of olde tyme radio. Strangely, this never-serving PCTA extra wants to chide those of us who have served on our behavior towards others. :-) The next set of postings will all be about the Glory of Morse and The Sea (it has already started, in fact). Those "sewer pipe" folk (whatever that means) haven't really accepted any other radio users/operators who served on land or in the air WITHOUT needing all those mighty macho morsemanship skills. We "landlubbers" (term used as a sort-of pejorative by swaggering sea-goers) are supposedly nobodies due to the lack of morsebeeping in our military records. We should not associate with their high holinesses of the on-off keying ham hocked morse legions. The Morse Myths are alive and well in the Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society (aka the ARS)!

I never joined any of the groups such as you mention. I'm too busy moderating several groups (electronics, computers, medical) and repairing computers. I always get a chuckle out of the folks who think I'm over the hill. My neighbor is a good example. I cleaned her computer up once, partitioned the hard drive, set the programs back up, added a firewall and anti-virus. A while later, she had another problem and took it to a "tech". She called me a couple of months later. She's on cable (roadrunner). Broadband. Seems the tech took out the partition and did *not* re-install the firewall nor antivirus. Not particularly smart. That mess took me a couple of trips over and required application of three different programs (plus a manual edit of the registry). She told me over a month that she had "improved" her pc. Guess what? A swiped copy of WinXP. LOL. I told her what to expect. I didn't mention that I was going to be too busy to help her this time, but I think she got the message. I haven't heard from her and I'm certain that XP has locked up by now. ROTFLMAO!! Meanwhile, I've responded to a couple of posts and now going to check the other groups, clean the hard drive, defrag, and call it a day (for a couple of hours).

All the ones I've ever worked with were black (old Model 15 to 19) or different shades of Teletype Corporation gray (Model 28 or 33)... :-) Teletype Corporation ought to get a standing ovation for some excellent mechanical design in those old teleprinters. They were robust performers that went on for days at a time needing only to be fed paper and (once in a while) a new ribbon. The old 60 WPM units were tried out at 75 WPM on a few Army circuits in 1955. MTBF went to hell at that speed and those circuits had very high maintenance turn-over. Restored to 60 WPM speeds, they continued on as if nothing had happened. Used the old type cage structure of the manual/electric typewriters. The "stunt box" (literally a box of type) used on the newer 100 WPM models did awesome things, true, fun to watch while waiting for a program's answer back. Never had one "lock up" in some strange mode, though, that including the old all-caps 60 WPM machines with Caps/Figs keys. By 1980 the matrix printer was IN for anyone needing text throughput, honking out 300 WPM with just a polite buzz instead of the clatter-bang of the mechanical teleprinters. My little Epson MX-80 (purchased in 1980) is still operational but it can't be given away in this age of inkjet printers that tosses out an entire page of text in 5 seconds (draft mode, black and white). The only sound from the "old" HP 722 inkjet printer is the paper-advance stepping motor; inkjets themselves being inaudible. But, the Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society (ARS) isn't really interested in communications per se, is it? ARS is all about HOW the communications is done, not the comms' content. :-) Most Best Holiday Greetings, |

Good for you, Len. You didn't need an "Awesome Trainer" or an amateur license to get into the Signal Corps. Is your objective in posting here to get back into the Signal Corps? Operation and maintenance was NOT for amateurs. Sure it was, Len. I'm sure that when you first began doing such work, you were strictly a rank beginner. That was only the beginning for me...something that happened while you were way too young to be responsible for much of anything. That's fine, old timer. I'll be happy to carry on for some time after you are able to be responsible for much of anything. Things like that even out. There are, of course, things which don't even out.

When and if you ever obtain an amateur radio license, you'll be a rank beginner in amateur radio. You have not yet attained that status. There's plenty to know which can't be picked up in a day. If you don't adhere to regs, procedure, protocol, etc., you'll be at best marked as a green op. Carry on with that and you'll be known as a lid. Carry it to the extreme of breaking FCC regs and the Commission can "fire" you. Oooooooooo...I can see the fires of a potential Flame War growing on your side of the screen! Outrage at some "outsider" sassing der great Gruppenfuhrer! How dare they! :-) Outrage? I'm not even close to outrage, especially when you remind me that you're an outsider to amateur radio.

If you become a beginner in amateur radio, there is no realistic way for you to enjoy four decades or more in the game. Tsk. Why is it SO necessary to do as YOU did? Is your ego really that large that you evaluate everyone based on your "accomplishments?" Must be. Quite a number of guys get into ham radio late in life. Many of them are exhuberant and quick learners. They make hay while the sun shines. Your pile of hay is quite small and it is beginning to mildew. Tsk, tsk. More manufacturing of things. You have a very busy insult factory going. Not a good thing for the image of U.S. amateur radio, is it? That's right, Len, but don't get too far ahead of yourself. When and if you ever obtain an amateur radio license, you'll be a rank beginner in amateur radio. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Still trying to misdirect away from the thread, aren't you? :-) "Morse Runner" is a code contest simulator, is it not? The thread also associated that with various others' military experience. Now you want to return to your (predictable) diatribe of "nyah, nyah, you will be a 'rank beginner' in amateur radio," yadada, yadada, yadada. You have not yet attained that status. What "status?" :-) Why is it so NECESSARY to have that federal license in order to discuss the test elements for ENTERING amateur radio? There's plenty to know which can't be picked up in a day. Oh my! Are years and years of "hard work and study" needed, oh mighty god of radio? NO ONE can be as good or experienced as yourself...you've implied that about you for years and years in here. :-) If you don't adhere to regs, procedure, protocol, etc., you'll be at best marked as a green op. Carry on with that and you'll be known as a lid. Oh, my, YES, by all means use the Proper Proceedure. Say "hi hi" in voice instead of laughing...report all signal strengths as "599"... and so forth. Who said anything about "not adhering to regulations?!?" Have you prepared some kind of court order for arrest based on your suppostiion of the future? Carry it to the extreme of breaking FCC regs and the Commission can "fire" you. Oh, my, der gruppenfuhrer suddenly morphs into Riley Hollingsworth! So...if I laugh out loud on voice on the ham bands, I'm breaking some kind of regulation? :-) Outrage? I'm not even close to outrage, especially when you remind me that you're an outsider to amateur radio. With your behavior, it's a wonder that anyone accessing this newsgroup wants to get into U.S. amateur radio. Just pace the sidelines as you've done from the beginnings of your r.r.a.p. history. Tsk. You should have put that as "all my life" instead of just some kind of "history in r.r.a.p." :-) You're slowing down, old fella. Age is beginning to set into your little neurons. No, wait. It must be RELIGIOUS THING with you. All without ham licenses are some kind of "infidels?" Yes, that must be it. You've gone on and on about that AMATEUR license as some kind of "holy grail" or a "Mecca" to visit or similar. You don't accept a whole career in radio-electronics as good for anything, do you? Nope. You dismiss it. Spoils the hell out your rant, doesn't it? :-) Let's see. You wanted to know which part of the military in which Jim served. Jim who? Tsk. You are trying to be Hall Monitor again? The question I posed to you would be much more apropos in this venue. No, NOT "apropo." The subject thread started out talking about a new freeware called "Morse Runner," a CW contest simulator. I'm sure it is a nice computer program and well written. However, I'd never be involved in the so-called "radiosport" of making as many "contacts" as possible in a given amount of time. That's not communicating anything. That's just some kind of game. I can get all sorts of computer games to play with and so can everyone else. Do I need an amateur radio license to run a GAME on a computer? Absolutely NOT. Hundreds of thousands of unlicensed others do that every day, most not even using any sort of "wireless" hookup. Do I need an amateur radio license to run a transmitter NOT on the ham bands? No, that requires, for some radio services (but not all), a COMMERCIAL license. Tsk, I've had one of those since early 1956. :-) No, you keep coming back to what YOU think is "apropo," that of constantly bothering about MY not having an amateur radio license. That BOTHERS you since that's about all you can do, bring that up in any thread NOT about that subject. That's awfully nice of you, Leonard. My mom is visiting out your way. Perhaps I'll arrange it so that she, my sister, my niece and my nephews can drop by and sing some carols for you. That might bring some cheer into your existence. "Cheer?" Try some industrial floor cleaner instead of laundry soap. They can scrub the oil spots out of the garage floor. Minimum wage even if their Green Cards are up to date. Meanwhile, you keep on your wonderful, warm-spirited recruiting campaign to entice newcomers to U.S. amateur radio by saying they will all be "rank beginners!" The way you are going here there won't be any worry about using up all the sequentially-assigned call signs for years. :-) Don't burn your menorah candles at both ends. |
